Joust Playfield

This is a head-to-head game where two players at opposite ends of the playfield compete in simultaneous play. Each player has flipper buttons which control only those flippers facing the opponent. Play begins by one player pressing the flipper buttons.

The game pictured in the flyer has an apron colored blue and red. The ends of its legs are squared off. We do not know how many games left the factory with these features, as most of the games we see have black and red aprons, with legs rounded at the ends.

Pictured in this listing is an Early Production game with serial number XP0223. It has the blue/red apron and squared legs.

Also included in this listing is a pictorial comparison of two games from Quebec, Canada having several production differences between them. For ease of comparison, we have arbitrarily assigned them as Game ‘A’ and Game ‘B’ without trying to suggest which game was made first. Game play is slightly different from each other: Just before the last 30-second unlimited ball mode starts, one game has all lights go out (including GI’s), while the other game has only the insert lights going out for about 5 seconds before the unlimited ball mode starts.
